I have a few observations/funfacts from the replay that didn't make to their own post because I was trying to speedrun chapter 2 to catch up to my schedule:
Since many are on their replay, I seek fresh eyes for an age-old question of mine about a certain conversation by the end of Ch2. Why did Uta skip her work unannounced? What happened?
This event is within the 4th reset event chain, so the last time Sensei privately spoke to Uta prior to this would be Uta's Blood Everywhere, or anywhere during the 2nd Christmas party (particularly, Dodging Snowflakes) if updates can establish some chronological order. Then, the first time Sensei had any meaningful conversation with Uta is by the end of Creatures of Habits. However, none of the event above really gives solid enough hints on why Uta skipped work without notice and I can't find any direct confirmation about anything related.
Now, even if Uta's past has not been revealed yet at that time, I am all about attributing this mysterious absence to her not feeling like working due to perhaps unsolicitedly receiving more of her own nudes yet again. Judging from what Uta said by the end of Creatures of Habits, it's easy to intentionally believe that Uta here was insinuating that her nightmare had recently resurfaced.
What stops from just assuming so is that:
- That's not the only possible take on her words. Moreover, Uta actually looked pretty bashfully happy when delivering those words, so she might be implying her trend of having crushes rather than something haunting. Even bringing up "her pictures" would significantly dim her aura, so it doesn't really feel fitting here.
- Even if she did recently received her own nudes around the time of Somnambula, a direct confirmation on the cause/effect is still lacking (i.e., skipping work is true and receiving nudes is true, but is receiving nudes leading to skipping work true?)
- When Uta finally confided to Io in Neverender about receiving nudes again, Uta seemed to be talking only about that one scenario in After the Rain when she washed Sensei's back. I feel like Uta would've mentioned that it actually had already happenedtwice if we want to assume her skipping work all the way back in Ch2 was caused by nudes. It would be something like "I was about to go to work...then my phone went off" and "then months later I was about to take a bath...then my phone went off", for example. Instead, she made it sound like the nude she got during After the Rain was something that happened for the first time after a long while.
So, my actual question is did I miss something? Was her absence actually being brought up and discussed in some other events so I don't have to make this assumption that isn't that impeccable in my book?
Very similar to how Io's opinion of Uta is only as high as it is because she was already emotionally invested in their friendship before finding out Uta wasn't a boy.

After putting two and two together I figured out why Sel said Chinami would be a horrible boss. Chinami has aborrent working conditions because she likes watching her workers get dismembered for her own (maybe sexual) pleasure. Chika fucked up by giving Chinami unmonitored acess to the internet.

Since it's brought up in an event chain in which a reset occurs, and in the same event she brings it up Akira's perception is getting skewed on the regular, it's entirely possible that Uta was simply an early victim of the reset.
The only true lesbian couple that would work not because they're horny, but because they like each other. Alas, both of them are heterosexual girls. Well, at least Io. Ami's influence on Uta starts making her bisexual.
I have returned from my mother's for Christmas and finally finished my first day back to work (working until Sunday then off till Thursday), thank you Moonflare for the reply. Have caught up to the thread and after looking a bit more into Pixiv there seems to be another account on there that has posted over 500 fanarts of LiL so got more to look through and enjoy. Hope everyone had a good holiday.
I'd say Uta is always bi. First is that Uta is clearly susceptible to Chika's feminine wiles (Rough Cuts). Second is that according to Noriko, she's confirmed that every dorm room except room 2, 3, and 9 contains at least one bi (At the Edge of the Riverbank). Her survey was done by simply asking around but I highly doubt Io was the one that said yes I also like girls for dorm 7. Both of these took place well before Ami starts pulling questionable stunts.
